the heart behind the practice
Real Help. Real People. Real Compassion.
At Venute Law Offices, we believe the best legal representation starts with listening. We know that when someone walks through our door, they’re often facing one of the most difficult times in their life — whether it’s the breakdown of a family, the aftermath of a serious accident, or the loss of a loved one. That’s why we don’t just offer legal advice — we offer a steady hand, a compassionate heart, and a commitment to fighting for what matters most to you.
Based in Springfield, Missouri, Venute Law Offices proudly serves clients throughout Southwest Missouri in the areas of Family Law, Mediation, Personal Injury, Auto and Truck Accidents, Motorcycle and Boating Accidents, Workers’ Compensation, and Wrongful Death. No matter the case, our mission is simple: treat every client like family and every case like it’s our own.
Our Legal Expertise, Your Peace of Mind
At Venute Law Offices, we provide compassionate, results-driven legal support in a range of areas.
Meet Nick Venute
Attorney. Advocate. Animal Rescuer.
Nick Venute brings over two decades of experience and heart to the table. A 2002 graduate of Chicago-Kent College of Law, Nick has been licensed to practice law in Illinois since 2002 and in Missouri since 2003. He combines sharp legal insight with a rare kind of compassion you don’t often find in the legal world.
Nick and his wife, Audrey, share their home — and their hearts — with a growing herd of rescue dogs and cats on their Southwest Missouri farm. His dedication to animal rescue speaks volumes about the kind of advocate he is: loyal, protective, and unafraid to go the extra mile for those in need.
When you work with Venute Law Offices, you’re not just hiring a lawyer. You’re gaining a trusted ally who genuinely cares about your outcome — because if it matters to you, it matters to us!
Meet the rescues who became part of the team!
Meet Audrey Venute
The warmth behind the work
Audrey brings over 30 years of experience in retail management, where she was recognized as a top-performing leader in customer service and human resources. Her background has equipped her with exceptional interpersonal skills and a deep understanding of client needs. At the firm, Audrey is dedicated to ensuring every client feels valued, respected, and confident in the care and commitment they receive.
Paralegal & the Intern
Where Paperwork Meets Playtime
We’re Jennifer and Liv — the paralegal and the pint-sized intern keeping this office both organized and delightfully unpredictable. Jennifer brings the calm in the chaos, handling paperwork, legal puzzles, and client care with compassion and precision. She’s also a leader with Mommies Enduring Neonatal Death (MEND), offering support and hope to families experiencing the loss of a baby — learn more at www.mend.org.
Liv, meanwhile, handles office morale. She’s got an extra chromosome and extra charm to match, clearing desks with flair, launching toys with purpose, and spreading joy (and raspberries) daily. Together, we balance law and love — one brief and one snack break at a time.
Ready to Make the Call!
When you’re ready to talk, we’re here to listen with compassion and guide you through the next steps. Call us today, you don’t have to face this alone.
